Trust the Holy Spirit



EXHORTATION through the BOOK OF LIFE

Scripture to ponder on:

“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

🕊️PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE HOLY SPIRIT🕊️

As long as you live on this earth, you will face weaknesses. What is it? The body of flesh and blood in which you live, is a body that is subject to death. A body that is subject to the physical things around you.

Your spirit does not want you to sin. It wants you to be completely obedient to God. But the weakness of the flesh makes you fall prey to the temptations that surround you.

Does this mean you're condemned to a life of failure until Jesus returns and this physical body is glorified?

No! It means you must strengthen your spirit through the Word connected to your identity until it is immersed in it, so that it no longer submits to the passions of your feelings. This is what crucifying the flesh is all about. Your spirit must rule your body. Praying in the Holy Spirit strengthens your spirit to rise up and take charge. Just as using weights strengthens your muscles, praying in tongues strengthens your spirit. You see, your spirit is more powerful than your flesh, and as you strengthen it, the flesh will simply have to yield.

Most Christians don't understand this. They are overwhelmed by sin, and instead of overcoming it through the things of God, such as praying in the Spirit, they simply continue to struggle to overcome it naturally. Therefore, they end up failing again and again.

If you are caught in this cycle, take heart! God did not command you to be more spiritual than you are capable of being. He knows your weakness and He has provided a way to overcome it. He has given you the ability to pray in tongues and also to pray with the understanding . This to wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. And no matter how badly you have failed, you will now accomplish great things!

Know, however, that Satan will try to dissuade you. He knows that once you have learned to align your flesh, he will no longer have a hold on your life. You will shut the door on him, and he will not be able to enter.

So renew your commitment to pray in the Spirit today. Make a quality decision to follow the command God gives in Jude 20: “But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.”

Jesus’ beloved !
